I like itI was in need of an inexpensive, available rimfire ammo supply that would function in both a S&W Victory pistol and an S&W M&P AR-15-22 rifle. My use is Rimfire Challenge type of static steel competition. I generally shoot centerfire guns in SCSA so rimfire is a secondary activity for me.
I tried a bunch of different rimfire ammos and settled on Federal Auto-Match. It works great in both guns, with over 3500 rounds maybe 3 ftf or stovepipes and all of those in the Victory. I did have to tinker with both guns before putting them in service to get reliable function but that is typical of semi-auto rimfire. No one rimfire ammo will make everyone happy. It's not Eley or other premium brand but it doesn't have an Eley price either.
There are a lot of reasons that can cause guns to become dirty and some ammo under certain conditions might be clean in one firearms and dirty in another. To keep things consistent I clean my firearms after reach use regardless of the brand of ammo I use. I say this because I don't find Auto-Match to be any cleaner or dirtier than any other rimfire ammo but even if it was "dirty" by others standards I wouldn't complain because as mentioned I do at least a spot cleaning after every use.
As far as accuracy is concerned it is better than my abilities. Full disclosure, when I try a new ammo I always first shoot from a bench and sight in my firearms to accommodate the ammunition. After that I shoot freestyle because I feel it isn't fair to make a judgment on accuracy unless the gun is sighted in properly.
Again, with all of my rimfire semi-autos and the kind of shooting I do my hardware and ammo is way more accurate than my skills. Some of the guys I compete with love Federal Auto-Match, some don't like it. It works for me and for at least the immediate future, the upcoming 2019 season, I will use it in abundance.

Not to goodI bought two boxes of 500 rounds each! the first bos was good, the second box I have had nothing but trouble. 1 to 2 round out of a ten round magazine will not fire out of either my bolt action or semi-auto rifle!

NOT Ideal for semi-autos as claimedClaims to be ‘ideal for semi-autos’. Don’t believe it. Tried it in Ruger 10/22 rifle and a S&W semi-auto pistol. Every round failed to eject properly and wedge sideways. Very frustrating. Shot the remaining 300+ rounds with a bolt action rifle and a revolver. Every round did fire. Didn’t have any Fail to Fire as other reviewers experienced. Would not recommend and will not buy again.

good accuracy, lots of dudsWhen this ammo actually fires it has been accurate and consistent for me in pistol or rifle usage. Lots and Lots of dud rounds though (once had 14 of 40 wouldn't fire from ruger mk iii despite multiple attempts). Also, ammo seems to have a hard time cycling ruger 10/22 (lots of stovepipes). The only reason for the 2 stars if for the consistency and accuracy I have experienced when ammo fires. And, I'll say it's no dirtier running than any other 22 lr. Disappointed that I purchased many thousands of these rounds; have already shot several thousands (with a guestimated 35ish% 1st time fire failure; about half of those still would not fire after multiple attempts), several thousand more to go. Will not purchase again unless it is only ammo avail.

Good for plinking onlyI bought two boxes of this. In the first box 1 out of every twenty rounds FTF. No FTE's though. Very accurate at 43 yards. three bull eyes out of three almost every time. Kinds dirty though. Have to clean my guns every time.

Excellent 22lr for target indoor or outdoorI have used many different manufacturer of 22lr in my revolvers and semi automatics . I have found that the Federal Target Champion is the best for reliability and consistent with no miss fires or light strikes.
